Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, I've tried to make this video multiple
times and unfortunately, I think, I've been unsuccessful,
because the more I talk about it, the more I feel like I'm
providing a listener withinformation that they haven't
heard about or don't really know.
So I'm going to try to explainwhat Judo is to my best ability.
Alright, so Judo to me.
(00:22):
I'm sure you guys know whatJudo is and it's basically a
martial art where people arethrowing people and tripping
people and using momentum.
That's what most people kind ofinterpret Judo is right.
Well, I've been training Judoapproximately like six months
more than likely less than thatand I'm learning under a buddy
of mine who studied it for a lotlonger than me, under a buddy
(00:45):
of mine who studied it for a lotlonger than me.
And what I find is reallyinteresting is that part of the
whole way of getting youropponent down to the ground,
you're really just using yourlegs and your hips to do all the
throws, whereas in wrestlingyou're really using your arms
and your hand and your back andstuff, right.
So it's really interesting.
Another thing is is that I wantto be a good training partner
and when you do any of thesethrows, you basically throw
(01:09):
people directly on the ground oryou trip them, and I don't want
to.
I don't want to throw myopponent, my training partners,
to the ground too hard, and tome it's.
It's.
I kind of feel like it's veryunsafe to train at full speed.
(01:33):
So I asked a buddy of mine whatis the best way that I can
actually go about continuing toget better and doing it while
training with my partners in asafe way.
And he basically said it's atwo-part dance.
Right, when you're trainingjudo with somebody, because
(01:55):
you're picking them up off theground more than likely and
slamming them on the ground,you're trying to do it with as
much control as possible andtechnique which keeps them safe.
Plus, you're using lessstrength.
Okay, uh, and on top of that, um, it's up to the person falling
to learn how to fall correctly.
And, um, I'm not even sure ifthey do this in wrestling, but
(02:19):
in judo a large part of judo,because it is, it's pretty much
all takedowns right, you aresupposed to learn how to break,
fall.
Break, fall is the word that'sused when you fall, when you
land on your back, your side,your chest correctly in a safe
(02:40):
way that you, you know, continueto, uh, to do battle way that
you, that you, you know,continue to, uh, to do battle.
And I think it's fascinatingbecause there's no other martial
art like it, like it.
But I think, with it, when youcombine jujitsu, which is the uh
ground fighting martial art,right.
When you combine wrestling,which is the takedown martial
(03:01):
art and I would considerwrestling a martial art it's
like controlling the person'sbody right and getting them not
just to the ground but keepingthem on the ground.
That's very wrestling based,right, but using your arms to do
it.
And when you incorporate, usingyour legs to do the takedowns,
meaning you're literally liftingyour leg across somebody's hips
(03:21):
and then pulling them over yourleg and tripping them or
pulling them or flipping themdown on the ground, that's judo.
And when you combine all ofthem together, you become a kind
of a badass, you know, and Ithink it's fascinating that in
all these martial arts,especially judo, I mean as far
(03:42):
as the standing aspect goes,when you're using technique, a
tiny girl could take a really,really big guy and do any of
these moves with the correcttechnique.
And that's part of my love,that's part of my passion and my
interest, uh, and in differentmartial arts, because when it's
(04:02):
technique based and it's notstrength based, okay, like
boxing, you could take a guythat's like a world-class boxer
and clinch with him and take himto the ground, but once he's on
the ground, you got to keep himon the ground.
Now you went from judo, okay,to wrestling or jujitsu, maybe,
(04:22):
right, and I just had such afascination with this because
it's so much fun and I'm gettingso much out of it and it's
really increasing my, myathleticism and making me more
unpredictable on my feet andwhen I mix stuff up, it's just,
(04:43):
it's so much fun.
So I'm pretty sure this isn'tgoing to reach out and speak to
the people that haven't evertried judo, but if you want to
learn takedowns, okay, I mighteven say realistically, start
with judo, because what's reallyinteresting is there's a lot of
people that wrestle and allacross America, right, judo is a
(05:06):
lot more popular, likeinternationally, like in Europe
and Russia and stuff like that.
Right, africa and whatever, soforth and so on.
But the interesting thing isthe people that I'm noticing now
that are becoming like divisionone, uh, national champions and
stuff like that, even on theinternational level, right, have
(05:27):
a background in judo.
So that pretty much means thatthis is like an additional tool
that they're bringing to thegame, so to speak, a whole other
system that when theyincorporate it with people into,
like you know, pushing intothem, they use the momentum of
that wrestler against them andthen they do their little
suplexes the judo guy does, andall these judo guys, one by one,
(05:50):
are now entering, likewrestling tournaments or MMA or
whatever, and they aredestroying everybody.
You know, and these are guysthat don't even have any
wrestling experience.
You know, and these are guysthat don't even have any
wrestling experience.
(06:11):
So it's really reallyinteresting because wrestling
works, because there's like anaggressiveness and tenacity and
technique, right, there's speedand explosion, but you're you're
constantly like going forward,okay, you're like pushing into
somebody or you're relievingthat pressure and taking it off,
right, but whereas judo, theyreally need you to come into
them.
So an aggressor is basically ajudo guy's preferred opponent
(06:37):
because as they're pushing intothem, that's when they can take
that momentum and doingsomething with it.
It's a lot harder doing judowhen the person's backing away
from you, but again, that'swrestling, where you're going to
charge into the person.
So, between having a martialart having to do with pulling
and another martial art havingto do with pushing.
Essentially, right, most judomoves all have to do with
(06:57):
pulling.
Very, very few of them, ifanything, have to do with
pushing.
But anyway, I'm very analyticaland when I've looked at all
this information, I just sort ofnotice these interesting
concepts which again, justrecapping for the random crazy
individual that thinks that thisis interesting Wrestling for
(07:22):
the most part is really amartial art about pushing also,
and judo is a martial art whichits main, its main function, has
to do with a pulling concept.
And all these wrestlers thatkeep pushing into these judo
guys, you know, they just keepgetting picked up in the air and
thrown around.
It's, it's amazing, it's fun towatch and, uh, it takes a lot
(07:45):
less time to become really,really good at judo than it does
at wrestling.
So if you get a background injudo and then you get into
wrestling, or if you get abackground in judo and then you
do jujitsu, it pairs togetherbeautifully, which also is very
strange to me.
If I can just say one morething, because you would think
that in jiu-jitsu, that being amore of like a background of a
(08:09):
martial art that kind of startsin Asia, right, that you would
also the first takedowns ofjiu-jitsu that you would learn
would be judo based.
But they're not.
It's weird, they're usuallywrestling based.
It makes no sense.
But they're not, it's weird,they're usually wrestling based.
It makes no sense Because ifyou correct, if you follow like
the lineage right, you shouldactually be learning judo first
(08:32):
on the feet and then, once itgets to the ground, okay.
Then it evolves to jujitsu.
But you don't.
There's like a weird disconnectand I was talking about that
with a buddy of mine.
It makes no sense.
But just hear what I'm saying.
If you're really interested inlearning takedowns, wrestling is
phenomenal.
Can't take anything away fromit.
But if you get a background injudo first, I guarantee you
(08:56):
whenever you start doingwrestling you're gonna be 10
times better.
I'm not saying throw away thewrestling, because wrestling is
great when you're going intosomebody.
But if everybody learns how togo forward and only one guy
learns how to go backward to dotheir moves, it will make you 10
times better.
(09:16):
So that's my two cents on alayman's approach and thoughts
towards judo.
I hope you guys like this.
This is not the conventionalpost, but I'm passionate about
it.
I love it.
It's so much fun and you shoulddefinitely give it a try.
So anyway, without further ado,this has been Joel Dunn.
Check me out.
(09:50):
Peace, thank you.
